Facts
The claimant brought claims for unfair dismissal, unauthorised deduction from wages, unpaid holiday pay, and breach of contract regarding unpaid pension contributions against his former employer Intesa (Leicester) Ltd. The hearing took place remotely on 26 June 2025. The claimant represented himself and the respondent failed to attend the hearing.
Decision
The tribunal found all four complaints well-founded in the respondent's absence. The claimant was awarded £16,000 compensatory award for unfair dismissal (with no basic award), £10,654.21 for unauthorised wage deductions, £1,009.65 for unpaid holiday pay, and £700 for unpaid pension contributions, totalling £28,363.86.
Practical note
Where a respondent fails to attend a hearing, a tribunal may find all claims well-founded and make awards based on the uncontested evidence presented by the claimant.
